Review Blitz: The Dating Experiment by Emma Hart

Setting up a dating website with the guy I’ve been in love with since I was five wasn’t my smartest idea.

Especially since he’s my best friend’s brother—thankfully, she’s okay with the fact I’m pulling a Sandy and I’m hopelessly devoted to him.

Which is why it’s time to get over him.

So I do something crazy and ask Dominic Austin to find me a date. He does—if I find him one, too.

Since we own Stupid Cupid, it should be easy, right? And it is.

My date is perfect. His date is perfect. Everything is perfect.

Until he kisses me…

Three dates.

One kiss.

And a big-ass mess…

4 stars Review by Lisa Kane

I’d spent five years matching other people, while I’d been in love with my co-worker and brother’s best friend the entire time.

Dom and Chloe’s story was the one I was most anticipating in this three part series. Chloe Collins is Peyton’s best friend (Peyton owns a hook up matching service) and Dom Austin is Peyton’s brother Chloe has secretly been in love with Dom for years (the only one in the dark for that secret is Dom) Dom and Chloe own Stupid Cupid a successful dating service. They have been at each other’s throats for years.

Dom is forgetful (he loses his keys at least once a week) and Chloe organizes everything she can get her OCD hands on. They are oil and vinegar. But Chloe would rather have someone who is the cream to her strawberry.

Chloe let it slip to Dom in a heated moment that she had a crush on him. But never let on for how long, if she still did, no other details. And he never followed up on it. So Chloe is done, finished with her feelings for Dom. Her friends have told her to move on, he is never going to return her feelings.

“But I don’t want to be anymore. It’s time that Chloe Collins broke free of the crap spell Dominic Austin wove on her. Sabrina the Teenage Witch wouldn’t tolerate it.”

So Chloe comes up with a plan to find the perfect match for Dom. So perfect that even she wouldn’t feel like he could have done better.

“And then I’ll be able to get over him, right? That’s how it works. He’ll be happy with whoever I match him with, and I can move on.”

When she challenges Dom to see if the other can find the perfect match for them, he accepts. That’s when things get interesting and we see Dom’s POV. Seems Mr. Austin has been hiding a few things of his own.

She needed someone to be to her what she was to them.

She needed that. She needed someone just as strong as she was.

Dom has a few insecurities of his own he needs to work through.

Most of the story is taken up by hilarious miscommunications and barbs thrown between Dom and Chloe. When will these two ever grow up and just admit what is going on?

Had he allowed me to set him up originally for the same reason I’d had him set me up? To move on? To get over him? Was he trying to get over me?
